Hi!
About two years ago, when I was starting my woodworking journey, I wrote this post:
At this time I never ever worked or held a #4 hand plane!This post is a kind of an update to my progress and some sort of a homage to this on-line woodworking school!
My only lessons came from this school, and all the posts I get in touch through the web site unpluggedshop.com…This bed was made entirely with the famous Record #4 I bought in ebay.co.uk for around 6£, a small wooden plane I modified to be the “scrub plane”, the Aldi brand chisel set, the copying saw, two rasps,the winding sticks (PS version), and I only spend 40€ in rough saw pine wood, and the center rails on the top (head board??) came from my youngest baby bed that I recycled.
I started with some sketches, and 2 small models, after that I did it.
And I was able to do it in 2 weeks.
I sill do mistakes, and gaps here and there (less then a 0,8mm), and some tear out, but it does the jobSo… a BIG THANK YOU Mr Sellers and the entire team!
Here goes the pictures, enjoy
Post Scriptum: If I may…. “poor mans long clams” – some cargo straps will do the work 🙂

Excellent

Philip, thanks for your comment. That means a lot to me!But the truth is it all came trough this school, Paul’s blogs and the philosophy behind the 10 tools, 3 joins, and poor mans tools.
So until I’ll be able to shake Paul’s hand in person send him by best regards. And You to because you are getting better at filming and showing us all the little details and that goes to the rest of the team as well!

So many of us have learned so much form this online school. I’m so thankful.
